Before the children left Northern Ireland, they wanted
to go to Ward Park again which is only 2 minutes’ walk from my home and on this
occasion we discovered a Mallard duck with 8 ducklings.
I am linking this post with WILD BIRD WEDNESDAY.
Many thanks for visiting and also to all those who leave comments.
What an excellent mama.
ReplyDeleteSo sweet. That first shot, of the mama, is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteSO cute! That's a lot of babies for mama to look after!
ReplyDeleteMallards are very common but I always enjoy watching their antics at this time of year when there are ducklings around.
ReplyDeleteThose babies are such a delight. Hopefully we will have some on our dam later this year.

ReplyDeleteIt's fun to watch ducklings!
ReplyDeleteYou have to love the babies. My ducklings are further along in the process of growing up and now you can't tell them from the mother or vise versa. Baby time has passed for the most part, so it had to be fun for you to see how the children reacted to seeing these little ones. Have a wonderful week, Margaret ...
